Material from Kendrick Lamar was split to Kendrick Lamar videography on 25 July 2023 from this version. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted so long as the latter page exists. Please leave this template in place to link the article histories and preserve this attribution.
Gruger, William (August 22, 2013). "Kendrick Lamar's 'Control' Feature Yields Huge Twitter Followers Jump". Billboard. [...] Lamar got people talking after he claimed to be the "king of New York," while also calling out nearly every big act in the game right now. [...] The heavy news item also generated 200,000 page views to his Wikipedia page (a 277% increase) for the week.
On other rappers' pages, such as Tyler, The Creator and Denzel Curry, their nicknames/aliases they use in songs are featured on the page in "Also known as". Add an "Also known as" section to include his aliases such as "Kung Fu Kenny" and "oklama" to stay consistent with similar pages Dariutd (talk) 16:09, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
>"twenty years ago, a conscious rap record wouldn't have penetrated the mainstream in the way [Lamar] did with To Pimp a Butterfly. His sense of timing is impeccable. In the midst of rampant cases of police brutality and racial tension across America, he spews raw, aggressive bard while possible cutting a rug."
should be changed to

As it currently appears in the article, the quote has multiple typos, needlessly truncates Lamar's name, and does not indicate the removed portion of the quote. I am using the same reference included in the article:

Change Kendrick’s height from 5’5 to 5’1 in order to be accurate. I work for Nike and have personally measured his height. He is just over 5’0, 5’1 is generous. 5’5 is an outright lie and inaccurate. 108.20.137.131 (talk) 10:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
